Part scavenger hunt, part educational activity, part family bonding opportunity and 100% fun, the photo scavenger hunt, sponsored by Lazydays, the RV Authority, is a point based competition that unfolds on Facebook over four weeks, with competitors posting pictures to gain points and race to become the Ultimate Explorer and win $250!!!!

The race has been created so family teams can participate anywhere in the world!

Full time rving is not a requirement. Criss-Crossing the country is not a requirement.

Having a camera, a family and an sense of imagination is all that’s required!

Our family LOVES to tour dams… I want to believe it has to do with the educational aspect of directing the flow of water and turning it into electricity, but I’m pretty sure it’s because we let the kids say “dam” during the entire dam tour.

The Glen Canyon Dam was no exception to this rule. Created in 1964, the dam tames the waters of the Colorado River and created the National Recreation Area known as Lake Powell.

We were fortunate enough to tour this feat of modern engineering with the Arnold Family and the Hamilton Family. Our dam tour guide as actually a dam electrical engineer who’d been at the dam for since 1965!

There was a great dam junior ranger program there for the kids and an informative movie.

We are looking for a couple of “hands on deck” if you are interested in helping with this FtF event. Currently, we need 3 judges for the pet parade. Also looking for 2-3 older kiddos with leadership skills who can lead a few of the super simple kids activities while adults are not far away. If you are interested in joining the crew, please email the rally host, Mary Beth at info@roadtripteacher.com.

Blame it on my i-obsession, but the results speak for themselves. This year’s rally will be a hi-tech marvel!

It started with an app.

The Rally App is a place to find the latest rally schedule, share pics, and get on-site updates! It works on both iPhone and Androids.. Go here to get it: http://my.yapp.us/MR5Y9T

If you’ve attended any of our previous rallies, you’ll recall our USA Trivia game is always a good time. But as the rallies grow, it becomes harder and harder for me to see who’s chiming in with an answer… Enter “Pick Me!” the smart phone app that allows you to buzz in. My iPad recieves the ‘buzzes’ and I’ll be able to know exactly who had the answer first! Brilliant!

Among other updates we’d like to share with you…

Marianne Edwards – Author of The Frugal RVer will be joining us on Saturday morning for Boondockers 101. For more info on Frugal RV Travel, check out http://www.frugal-rv-travel.com/RV-Travel-Guide.html
